Simple Ways To Save Money

I think some of the best ways to save money are the simplest. Like meal planning, budgeting, bring your own lunch and coffee and planning cheap activities. 

Money Saving Meal Planning

Eating out, drive thru coffee runs and take out had a big part in wrecking our finances. After working, the long commute, picking up the kids and a few errands ordering take out was the easiest solution to get dinner on the table.  Until I discovered meal planning and freezer cooking. Discover our favorite freezer meals.  Did you know you can fill the freezer in just a couple of hours and be set for meals all week?

Money Saving Activities

You don’t have to break the bank to have a great weekend, date night or staycation.  In fact you can do it all super cheap. Discover 75 amazing no spend weekend activities.  Weekly date nights are a must and they can fit into even the tightest budget.
